Save Police fear the driver of a stolen car that slammed into a power pole at speed this morning in Hastings may have suffered serious injuries.
They are calling for the offender to come forward for their own wellbeing.
Senior Sergeant David Sutherland of Hastings police told APNZ the stolen car
was "toast'' after the crash on Karamu Rd North in Hastings about 4am.
The car hit the power pole with enough force to snap it off at the ground, cutting power to part of the road.
"You've got to hit it at speed to do that,'' Mr Sutherland said.
